Rotations in 3 dimensional space are equally described by the SU(2) and SO(3) groups. These isomorphic groups generate the same 3D kinematics using different algebraic structures of the unit quaternion. The Hopf Fibration is a projection…

We study a quantum version of the SU(2) Hopf fibration $S^7 \to S^4$ and its associated twistor geometry. Our quantum sphere $S^7_q$ arises as the unit sphere inside a q-deformed quaternion space $\mathbb{H}^2_q$. The resulting four-sphere…

The correspondence between Poisson structures and symplectic groupoids, analogous to the one of Lie algebras and Lie groups, plays an important role in Poisson geometry; it offers, in particular, a unifying framework for the study of…

We prove that the general fiber of a compact hypercomplex twistor space with a K\"{a}hler fiber has no divisors nor curves. This is first used to prove that, under the same assumption, the trascendental degree of the field of meromoprhic…

We investigate the twistor space and the Grassmannian fibre bundle of a Lorentzian 4-space with natural almost optical structures and its induced CR-structures. The twistor spaces of the Lorentzian space forms $\R^4_1, \Di{S}^4_1$ and…

We define a class of symplectic fibrations called symplectic configurations. They are natural generalization of Hamiltonian fibrations. Their geometric and topological properties are investigated. We are mainly concentrated on integral…

Let $M$ be a holomorphically symplectic manifold, equipped with a Lagrangian fibration $\pi:\; M \to X$. A degenerate twistor deformation (sometimes also called ``a Tate-Shafarevich twist'') is a family of holomorphically symplectic…

Let $M$ be a holomorphic symplectic K\"ahler manifold equipped with a Lagrangian fibration $\pi$ with compact fibers. The base of this manifold is equipped with a special K\"ahler structure, that is, a K\"ahler structure $(I, g, \omega)$…

By utilizing the gauge symmetries of Two-Time Physics (2T-physics), a superstring with linearly realized global SU(2,2|4) supersymmetry in 4+2 dimensions (plus internal degrees of freedom) is constructed. It is shown that the dynamics of…

We quantize the problem considered by Bott-Samelson who applied Morse theory to any compact symmetric space $G/K$ and the associated real flag manifold $G_{\mathbb{R}}/B$ which is a real locus of a complex partial flag variety…

"T-fold" backgrounds are generically-nongeometric compactifications of string theory, described by T^n fibrations over a base N with transition functions in the perturbative T-duality group. We review Hull's doubled torus formalism, which…

A quasitoric manifold is a smooth manifold with a locally standard torus action for which the orbit space is identified with a simple polytope. For a class of topological spaces, the class is called strongly cohomologically rigid if any…

The purpose of this paper is to study transport equations on the unit tangent bundle of closed oriented Riemannian surfaces and to connect these to the transport twistor space of the surface (a complex surface naturally tailored to the…

We consider normal almost contact structures on a Riemannian manifold and, through their associated sections of an ad-hoc twistor bundle, study their harmonicity, as sections or as maps. We rewrite these harmonicity equations in terms of…

We recapture Douglas' framework for twisted parametrized stable homotopy theory in the language of $\infty$- categories. A twisted spectrum is essentially a section of a bundle of presentable stable $\infty$-categories whose fiber is the…

In this document we present a twistor correspondence for half-flat almost-Grassmannian structures on real and complex manifolds. We provide foundational results regarding local theory in the complex setting and a global correspondence when…

The triangulation complexity of a closed orientable 3-manifold is the minimal number of tetrahedra in any triangulation of the manifold. The main theorem of the paper gives upper and lower bounds on the triangulation complexity of any…

A vertex algebra with an action of a group $G$ comes with a notion of $g$-twisted modules, forming a $G$-crossed braided tensor category. For a Lie group $G$, one might instead wish for a notion of $(\mathrm{d}+A)$-twisted modules for any…

The tetrus is a sort of big brother to the tripus, W.P. Thurston's example of a compact hyperbolic 3-manifold with totally geodesic boundary. We describe a sixfold cover of the double of the tetrus, itself a double, which fibers over the…

We discuss hypercomplex and hyperk\"ahler structures obtained from higher degree curves in complex spaces fibring over ${\mathbb{P}}^1$.
